Absolutely a 10/10 review for this place. The views are spectacular and definitely a lot of planning has gone into the property to ensure absolute comfort. A definite recommendation to pick here if choosing a relaxing getaway. Can’t wait to plan our next trip and stay here again. I encourage all who stay to read the little book about the property in the book area and the amazing planning and thought that has gone into the retreat. Don’t hesitate, book this place now, also great ammenities and very clean kitchen/lounge area with a fireplace. My only concern if you’re reading this is hopefully your dates when booking don’t overlap with ours when we want to come back again!! Thanks for a great relaxing place to stay Grace. Oh, and PS I read in a review and your disclaimer of minor debris/cobwebs out the back due to beach conditions - I can honestly say the back of the property is in pristine condition also. And really peeps if you worry about such a minor detail booking this retreat that’s crazy as the view is at the front of the property. Thanks again so much for this stay Grace - an anniversary getaway we will remember and up there as one of the best❤️😊

A lovely beachfront stay
A lovely place for one person (or two!) to stay, less than 5 minutes' walk from Park Beach with panoramic views. The accommodation is exactly as shown on the photos, with the addition of two outdoor loungers and an outdoor dining set, which were lovely to have. Fully functional kitchen, modern bathroom, split system for heating/cooling as well as a log fire. Lots of doors and windows with fly screens for natural circulation. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it.

Loved our short stay !
Thoroughly enjoyed this location. Inside the house, it was immaculately clean and well presented, very homely feeling & cosy. Loved the fireplace and ample wood supplied. Bed & pillows were super comfy. Loved the views and managed to capture an aurora on one of the nights we were there. Overall a great experience and would definately recommend :-) Feedback: (* Cleanliness - 1 star deducted as the outside of the house & outdoor furniture had lots of cobwebs that could do with some attention to detail) (* Accuracy of listing - 1 star deducted as it should have been mentioned that there are steep steps to the house - also our car was unable to fit down the steep driveway... As we are older folks we found this quite challenging especially with our luggage)

A special place to stay.
Our three night stay was perfect. When we arrived and the place was lovely and warm with the air conditioner on. We loved the open fire that we used each night. The kitchen had everything we needed. The king size bed was really comfortable. Parking was off road and just outside the the back door. Oh and the view is amazing. Thanks for the chocolates a lovely treat. We would highly recommend this place.

This property is an absolute gem. It was immaculate with vast water views, a terrific 2 way wood heater, a king size bed and good parking. We enjoyed sitting with a glass of wine while watching the surfers braving the cold conditions. So snug, Loved it.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Park Beach Retreat. Headed to Park Beach for a weekend of relaxation before the year starts and things get hectic managed to read a whole book!! The views were stunning and the bed comfy. Great morning walk along the beach to the river mouth and back. Hubby got in the water for a couple of swims. We will be back.

Didn't spend much time here - we were mostly out looking around!
Was a great little place to have a breather between travelling all over the place, but having said that, didn't arrive until really late the first night, woke really late the next day, then out and about, then checked out really early the next morning. Was great to get some washing and drying done here though, and to have an amazing shower (water pressure was great). The highlight was seeing an owl on the fence the first night. Have never seen one in the wild before. Missed not having a dishwasher (I get terrible rashes from dishwashing liquid and rubber gloves) but I didn't pay much attention to if there was going to be one prior - my daughter did the washing up for me. Host Grace was very quick with email responses, which I was really thankful for. Very welcoming and friendly😊. I was a bit mystified how to get fresh air during the night though. I would have liked to leave a window slightly open during the night, but didn't know how to open the really high louvers above the kitchen. Maybe a pedestal fan would be a good alternative. But we survived! The next night was quite chilly, so we got to enjoy the lovely fireplace. No fan or open window needed!

Cosy two person beach side villa
We stayed at the retreat during a blustery and cold weekend in July. The fire was lit continuously and did a reasonable job of keeping us warm. The other heater was not up to the job. Having said that, the Retreat was well appointed, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed it immensely, happy to be back after days braving the weather. Many thanks Grace for your hospitality and congratulations on a stylish comfortable retreat.

Loved the view!
This is a great property that has everything you need...from supplies in the kitchen so you can cook a meal, to washing tablets to do laundry. The fire place in the middle of the room keeps the house warm and cozy, but it is spectacular views that we would come back for! We could have spent all day in the very comfortable bed, just watching the views, but with so much of Tassie to discover, alas, we didn’t! Fantastic couples retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Kylie Reardon / Grace McLaren

Host profile image
We are recently retired from a family business we operated for 35 years in North Queensland.

Why they chose this property

When our daughter moved to Tasmania from Queensland, we searched for the perfect block to build our dream holiday home. This is the block we found overlooking Frederick Henry Bay. This home was built at our workshop in Atherton, unbolted and shipped to Tasmania in a shipping container and erected on this block in 2014.

What makes this property unique

In any weather you can see people enjoying Park Beach. There is always someone out in front of our place be it surfing, paddle boarding, kite surfing, wind surfing, boating, sailing. If it's cold, sit with the warmth of the fire in front of you and watch whats happening outside.
